E005 EMBRACE CHAIR WITH ARMREST
The BM1106 Huntsman Chair, which Børge Mogensen designed for the 1950s Copenhagen
Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition, became representative of Danish furniture design and the era known
today as Danish Modern due to its simple form and organic materials. The chair was originally made
of smoked oak and saddle leather - two of Børge Mogensen’s preferred materials. Saddle leather was
a new material in Mogensen’s career and made its mark, leading to a more robust expression in his
designs. The Huntsman Chair was originally designed for a specific environment - the hunting cabin -
with an inviting elegance due to its angled legs and slender design.
Renowned for
subtlety and
strong structures
The result of Carl Hansen & Søn’s first collaboration with EOOS in 2015 was the Embrace Chair with
armrest, later complemented by the Embrace Chair. The Embrace Chairs unite the Austrian design
trio’s strong sense of modern aesthetics with Carl Hansen & Søn’s century-old tradition of quality
craftsmanship and outstanding comfort. EOOS paired soft, modern upholstery with a solid wood frame
to achieve a precise yet relaxed expression. The wooden structure is continuous, with the legs as an
essential element of the overall silhouette rather than appendages to the upholstered upper section. The
back of the frame, composed of three pieces assembled in classic finger joints, is especially striking. The
soft cushion embraces the wooden structure and appears to float within the frame.
